CLC project groundbreaking:

The College of Lake County held a ceremonial groundbreaking March 24 at the Southlake Campus in Vernon Hills for a $1.7 million expansion to create a new chemistry lab. Members of the Southlake Campus Advisory Committee attended the event to celebrate the start of work on the new 2,500-square-foot addition, which will accommodate 18 to 20 students per class session. Construction is scheduled to begin in April and to be completed in December 2015. The project is part of the college's $163 million Sustainable Campus Master Plan, which includes facilities improvements at all three CLC campuses. A groundbreaking for a Grayslake campus science building is set for Monday, March 30 at 4 p.m. The $28.3 million project includes a new three-story science building and space renovations for programs in engineering, photonics, chemistry, anatomy and physiology.
